WHAT MISSION WORK?
Ii Does Not Consist Alone of Re
Iigious Teachings.

Rev. Marion ID. Shutter, at the Church
of the Redeemcr, spoke on the subject
OF Missions" yesterday morning. He
said: The ordinary definition of mis-
sion work. that confines it exclusively
to religious teaching and preaching in
destitute communities of our own land
or hcathen lands, is defective. Every
one who is doing something 10 make
somebody else better. who is adding his
work to the sum total of what Is being
done for humanity-by plowing 4 field,
OF cutting log. or draining q swamp. or
deyisng useful invention, or healing
disease, or conducting a newspaper

sense. The world Is full of OppOrtuni-
ties to save men from the present hellS
of intenperance and suffering and sin !:
nor do we need to be gOaded to this
work by the prungcd tridentS of imag-
mary fiendS. The modern missionary
movement, in its narrow sense, is of re-
cent origin among those who believe in
different outcome for the human race

Some people are hard TO satisfy and
others want the earth. The following
communication is printed because 1t
was written by stranger, and written,
evidently, when he was real mad. The
presumption is that he had a sweetheart
in Minneapolis, and, arriving too late
for a Saturday night shave, had to make
his Sunday call unshaven and unShorn.
Here is what he says:
To the Editor of the Globe.
Perhaps it might interest some of
your readers to know how Minneapolis
impresSes stranger who now visits 1t

wonderful growth, and knowing estl-
mates made of its present population,

the term implies. | cannot say that my
expectations have been realized. A
city which goes to sleep at 8 O'Clock in
the evening; which hardly has a first
class restaurant, where auy ordinary
dish desired can be obtained; in
which (as regards many lines, if not alp
a street car cannot be found after

out acquaintances has absolutely

village. l sincerely hope, for the good
of Minneapolis, that those who control
these matters will awake to a realiza-
ton of the fact that such policy is not
one that will tend to induce young men
to make it their home. Respectfully,

ABOUT MIRACLES.
Rev II. VI. Simmons Defines the
Literal Meaning.

At tie First Unitarian church yester-
day morning Rev. II. NJ. Simmons
preached an interesting sermon on
Miracles" lie said: The miraculous
stories OF modern history are generally
disbelieYed to-day. When st. Angus
tine asserted that five dead persons had
been raised to life in his own diocese by
Stephens bones, physicians doubt it.
When st. EpiphaniuS told of rivers and
fountains annually turned into wine,
and that he had himself drunk from
such fountain, preachers say he was
probably mistaken. Many think that
the miracles of the Bible are of the same
class. Indeed, Jesus himself avoided
the reputation of miracle worker; and
Mark says that when the people once
asked for miraculous signs Jesus re-
buked them and added: Verify | say
unto YOU there shall no sign be given
unto this generation" l think Mark
was right. and that Jesus never claimed
10 work miracles. but trusted to the
divine powers of his words alone, and
that the miraculous stories about
him grew mp among his more superSti-
tious followers. All miracles in the
old meaning of the word, seem doomed
to go like ST. Augustine'S stories. But
this meaning goes only to leave a larger
ard better one. Miracle originally
meant simply a wonder, and the Won
der remains and grows with every adj
vance in knowledge. If there have
been no miraculous violations of law.
the law itself is larger miracle, and
all the diviner one because never viO-
lated. The old miracles told of God
fOrsaking the WOrld-the sun stopping,
gravitati0n suspended, the river Jordan
ceasing 10 flow. the fig tree dying. We
see the diyiner miracle of Goa never
f0rsaking us-the miracle Of a sun ever
moving. 0f q river ever rolling, of for
eStS and fields ever filled with life.
Suspended law would be sign not of a
God. but of the lack of one. Not in the
heaped Red sea, but in our level lakes,
see the great miracle and divine mark.
Not in the Stopped Jordan, but in
the unceaSing Mississippi, | see the
| river of God. And we still cross it by
faith-aS much as Joshua did the other.
Faith figured out the strength of those
cables. and hung the bridge upon them 4;
faith still walks the bridge to-day, trust
ing that the laws of matter will be
| lOosened by no miracles of the old kind.
| Faith in gravity and in a better God
! than old miracles tell reared the high
! walls of orr mills. too; and faith that
water will never conduct itself as in the
old stories put the machinery in them.
| Faith. both in life and religion. rests on
this larger miracle of eternal order, and
would lose 10y any event that should in
! terrupt it. We are learning to see and
revere the ever present miracle of law
! and life-of THE blowing clover and
| the falling rain''-and above all of the
| ever active mind and heart of man.

4 Pleasing Concert.

Harmonic hall last night, despite the
inclemency of the weather was filled
with a music-lOving audience.tO hear the
concert, the first of the season, given by
the society after which this popular re-
sort is called. The hOnOrS were divided
between Prof. Stcmpf and Frank Danz,
both of whom led in their respective
classes. The concert opened with the
overture, Moon and Night,"by theDanz
full orchestra, and was at once followed
by the chorus work of the society, under
the directing baton OF Prof. Stempf.
Miss Clara Engel was especially attrac-
tive in the third number, The Bell of
the Hermit" and her rendition was re-
ceived with loud applause. The chorus
work, both male ami female, was spien-
did, but if anything the females
seemed to be the stronger. The
lengthy programme came to an end
with the grand chorus from MillOecker's
enhancing opera, The Black Hussar,"
given by a mixed chorus in beautiful
manner, and this closed very success
ful and enjoyable concert.
